After finally getting the cat's fur straight, the two sides engaged in a heated debate.
Ba Jin Niu Tizi offered the kitten a bribe.
"Our Emerald Valley has mastered the farming methods of the Cloud Giants."
"You can grow crops that are exactly the same as the ones used on the floating islands! Those fruits and vegetables that are exclusively for the Arcane Lords, hey, aren't you tempted, Guild Master?"
Cat President: "..."
The cat president twitched his cat ears and stared at Ba Jin with dead fish eyes.
"Campbell's thuggish behavior almost bankrupted me."
The 'honest' minotaur tried to 'reason'.
"That's all in the past. Can't we put aside our past grievances and work together to make money and get rich?"
The cat president gritted his teeth, "They've been robbing me for years."
The minotaur pleaded earnestly, "We heard that you've also taken your revenge."
"With the Chamber of Commerce's 'blacklist' out, wow, Campbell will have to pay at least two gold coins to buy a loaf of black bread."
The cat guild leader stared at the minotaur, "They almost caused my guild to go bankrupt."
[I went to Winged Cat Cafe and lay there letting people pet me for 3 years straight, my head is practically bald from all the petting!!!]
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili promptly interrupted this 'death conversation'.
She asked the cat president very sincerely, "Would this be alright?"
Everyone knows how profitable the potion market is, right?
"If I could provide a new product that could replace several of the currently best-selling potions."
"Can you agree to let bygones be bygones?"
After Li Aili finished speaking, she felt that this was somewhat inappropriate.
So she changed her mind and said, "Or, propose a compensation plan."
Upon hearing this, the six ministers who were listening in exchanged a furtive glance.
"[Replace the potion?!]" A question bubble of doubt appeared above the head of the elegant and noble female minister.
[Hiss! Could it be one of those magical potions on the black market!?]
I've heard rumors that the 'Elemental Plains Scandal' involving magicians was orchestrated by a bunch of reporters using 'invisibility potions'.
Wow! This Emerald Duke has such extensive connections!?
Now, the ministers couldn't hold back any longer.
They all looked like they had twitched their eyes, giving the cat president meaningful glances.
I wish I could rush up, press the cat's head down, and make her nod in agreement with Li Aili.
Under these two conditions, the Merchants' Guild's wealth will surpass that of the Magic Association next year!
We'll catch up with Tankar the year after next!
Four years later, they topped the charts and became number one in the world!
The six ministers were so anxious they were practically tearing their handkerchiefs apart.
However, Cat President Trish just stared at Ellie with dead fish eyes.
All right.
Try to put yourself in their shoes.
He happily went to Denton to take up his post.
As a result, they encountered a group of 'bandit neighbors'.
They failed to achieve their goals, but instead racked up a mountain of debt.
In the end, the kitten was forced to 'go to the cat cafe' to work.
Unfortunately, paparazzi wrote a news article about it and published it in World Entertainment Weekly, forcing him to "die in the media spotlight".
This... is something that money can't solve anymore.
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to hold it in either.
Li Aili slowly exhaled.
"Then, President Trish."
"Emerald Valley must engage in trade."
"You can propose any compensation plan, and I will do my best to meet your requirements."
"As long as it's reasonable."
The minotaur exhaled two streams of hot air from his nostrils, somewhat annoyed.
As residents of a chaotic underground city.
The iron fist is justice.
The valuables that Campbell's thugs stole through their own skill were, in the eyes of Ba Jin, this "honest ox," the fruits of his labor!
Besides! Why should Emerald Valley take the blame for Campbell's problems?!
This infuriated the honest ox.
The bizarre thing above his head was cursing and swearing, and it was as long as a train.
Silence, a long silence.
Just when Li Aili thought that this trip might have been in vain.
The black cat suddenly spoke up: "I have three requests. If you can agree to them and fulfill them all, I will wipe the slate clean."
Li Aili felt half relieved.
She is not afraid of the other party posing difficult questions.
I'm afraid the chamber of commerce won't even give her any room for negotiation.
The black winged cat stretched out a paw.
The cat's pink paws pointed at Li Aili, "First, you must deal with those Campbell bandits who once ravaged my caravan."
"Secondly, you need to prove that what you said before was not nonsense."
"Finally, I want the Sphinx's signature... cough, paw print," the black cat said with a serious expression.
However, the bubble above her head, which was about to turn into a 'screaming chicken,' betrayed her true feelings.
【Aaaaaah!!! I heard that Lord Sphinx has followed that 'Demon Duke'!?】
I want Sphinx's autograph!!! Meow meow meow!!!
Li Aili: "………………"
Of President Trish's three conditions, only the first one is truly difficult to meet.
It must be said that the minotaurs' ideas were somewhat correct.
Emerald Valley was her territory, but that was before Campbell was conquered by Arthur.
Thomason and his team did the 'dirty work'.
No man's land is a chaotic place without laws.
This is also one of the ironclad rules of the mainland.
Li Aili is merely a duke of Emerald Valley.
Thomason has not committed any crimes since becoming a resident of Emerald Valley.
As the lord of Emerald Valley, she cannot punish her current subjects for past sins.
So, here's the question.
Would Trish, as the president of the Denton City Chamber of Commerce, not understand this?
Was she simply trying to vent her anger, or...?
Li Aili looked up at Trish.
The kitten instructed the handsome male servant behind it to brush its fur.
A very noticeable bubble appeared above her head: [Hmm, she's really composed.]
After receiving news about Emerald Valley, the boss told me to wait for her to come over.
How many days have passed?
[Meow! I've already eaten several bags of dried fish!]
[Damn, this woman just arrived!]
Li Aili: "…………" Just as I expected.
The kitten was very pleased with the servant's skill in brushing its fur.
Bubbles kept appearing on the kitten's head.
